If and when I can, Im out of RM.
All I can do is my best to protect myself and perhaps those I can along the way.

Our CWU rep is most definitely out for himself and nobody else. Spends far too much time concentrating on only picking fights he knows he can win, thinking he's more intelligent than his members, asking questions then not listening to answers, hanging out with management, sticking his nose in staffing issues, telling his members what basically end up being total lies to temporarily placate them, favouring 'senior' members and generally feathering his own nest. I'm interested in getting a vote of no confidence started to get him shifted. Any useful links on how to get it rolling?

Best make sure it isn't just your opinion first and see how much support there is - check when the next election is due and get yourself nominated - though sometimes you may find the election has taken place without notification and shown as "unopposed".
